Junkpalooza Day One

Junkpalooza 2016 is off to a great start even if it is a little hot.

It was great having our own chauffeur!

We met Dave and his wife, Michele at the Sunrise Cafe in Cleburne, Tx. 

Two eggs over easy, bacon, hash browns and white toast. 

It is my go-to breakfast and it was delicious. 
On our way out of town, my heart did a little pitter patter over this home that is in the process of being moved.

It's being moved to Midlothian to be turned into offices. 
 It was purchased for just $100 but it will require at least a half of a million dollars to move and restore it.
Those windows-love!

 

I may have to go visit it in Midlothian. 

We headed back to Ft. Worth so we could get Bill's favorite decaf coffee beans at Avoca Co. but they were out. 

Old Home Supply was our first shopping stop.
It is a must see if you are ever in Ft. Worth. 

Do you need a giant flamingo? This is your place.

They have architectural salvage but they also have antiques. 

I almost got a marmalade pot. 
The brown transferware plate was only $9.00. 
I left those for someone else.  

Look at the size of this chandelier.

My favorite thing was this old iron spiral staircase. 

 

I'm surprised no one has snatched up this clock face.

 

Montgomery Street Antique Mall was next on the list. 

The camp sign was not for sale but would be darling in my classroom this fall. 

I found some delicious green.

This picnic basket was calling to me.

Bill was the winner of the day with his purchase.

 Melt Ice Creams was our next stop. 
We needed fortification!

We all had Cup of Texas which features the aforementioned Avoca Coffee.
It was the best coffee ice cream I have ever had. 

Do you think coffee ice cream has a kick of caffeine?

I needed it at this point. 
Dave had a salted caramel as his second scoop. He said it was delicious. 
 

Our final stop of the day was a Half Price Books off of Hulen Street. 

Dave has been trying to complete his collection of Hardy Boys Books and number 54 will top off his collection. 
We will search but do you think we can find it this year? 

I'll let you know.

Junkpalooza 2016 is well underway.
I didn't find anything but it was a great day shopping in Ft. Worth. 
I'll be hosting a Inlinkz linky party so that you can showcase some of your junky finds so come back by for more information. 
Have a wonderful day!  
The Link Party is up. 
Go and link up your thrifty treasures.
